Time’s up. SEG: show your impact—or admit you’re just selling extinction with a smile.

🔍 Why It Matters
SEG shapes European eel policy.
But if it’s undemocratic, opaque, and riddled with conflicts —
Who is it really protecting?
The eel is vanishing.
So is accountability.

The critically endangered European eel is being pushed closer to extinction while those charged with its protection do little more than issue platitudes, promote Europes consumption and delay real intervention”#SaveTheEel #ConservationJustice

The European eel doesn’t need more marketing.
It needs space to migrate. Time to recover. And freedom from exploitation.
Stop the consumption.
Stop the extinction.

A certification stamp isn’t the whole story.
If you care about ethics, ask how the eel was killed — not just how it was caught (probably illegally).

Even when dive money supports MPAs, if dive workers are underpaid and local communities left out, then it’s not conservation. It’s extractive economics in a neoprene suit.

Bottom line:
Even on SEG-certified farms, serious welfare concerns can exist.
Certification should mean more than just efficiency—it should mean ethics.
📢 It’s time for reform.

It’s time for SEG to decide:
Are they a conservation group?
Or an industry lobby in a green mask?
Because the eel doesn’t have time for politics.

Andrew Kerr: “Save UK eels!”
Also Andrew Kerr: Oversees 25,000 tons of eels consumed in Europe.
Talks conservation at home, profits from exploration and destruction abroad.
This isn’t protection—it’s HYPOCRISY.

If Andrew Kerr truly cares about eel conservation, he must ban Europe’s consumption until stocks recover. Anything less risks trading ecology for profit. You can’t protect a species by selling its last survivors.

😬 “We’re not a DEI funder.”
Translation: We think saving species can happen without justice, power shifts, or culture change.

Some species are gone.
Some endure.
But what we choose to revive, remember, or ignore says everything about who we center, and who we leave out.
Not all restoration is repair.

We’ve had 7 Jurassic Park movies to teach us: de-extinction isn’t about animals. It’s about control.
Dinosaurs are the metaphor.
But the huia? The moa? They’re real.
And the real issue is colonial conservation dressed up as progress.

De-extinction is a distraction.
But the questions it raises?
Vital.
Who decides what counts as “restoration”?
Who’s at the table when conservation plans are made?
And who gets left out?

🚩 TROPE: “Big NGOs love splashy announcements but don’t follow through.”
Sometimes true. But incomplete. Local models like Raja Ampat + Cabo Pulmo + Roatan + Velondriake show what works when PR meets local leadership and management. Highlight the “yes, and.”

With its striking rusty Mohawk, bold black eyeline, and sweet, rapid trill, this little songbird brings charm to backyards, parks, and open woodlands across North America. Keep an ear out for its cheerful song and watch for its ground-foraging antics near your feeders!

Text reads: Birds symbolize movement, migration, and breaking barriers, mirroring our experiences as Black birders as we navigate and thrive in environments where we have historically been excluded. "Flock to Freedom" aims to provide space for empowerment, self-expression, and connection to ancestral roots while challenging stereotypes about who belongs in nature. Join us as we reconnect online and in person to rise, soar, and flock to freedom.
Welcome! It’s Day 1 of #BlackBirdersWeek, “Flock to Freedom”. Introduce yourself & connect with other Black birders using #BlackInNature ✊🏽

Local & Indigenous communities are leading—but too often underfunded or left out. If we want lasting solutions, equity and sustainable support must come first.

An important project on #conservationjustice in Europe "EU has committed to expand the strict protection of nature to 10 per cent of Europe’s land by 2030". What would that mean for land, people and nature? @georgemonbiot.bsky.social and its research team will look at it soon.
